Havana, Oct 9 (acn) "The ideals and actions of Commander Ernesto Guevara are examples for those who defend equality and justice," said Bolivian President Evo Morales in his closing speech of the main rally to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the death of the revolutionary leader held on Monday in Valle Grande, Bolivia.

"We are humanists and followers of the example of Guevara," he added and noted that honesty and transparency are the best tribute to the Cuban-Argentinean guerrilla.

Morales urged everyone to fight for equality and dignity and for all the causes and ideals for which Che Guevara fought.

The Bolivian leader also praised Commander in Chief Fidel Castro for his valuable lessons, and Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, for supporting the revolutionary processes of the continent.

Morales stressed that his government advocates a new Constitution that does not allow any US military base in Bolivian soil and rejected the existence of this kind of US facilities in Latin America.

The Cuban delegation to the activities to commemorate the anniversary of Guevara's assassination in Bolivia is headed by General Rogelio Acevedo and also includes Leonardo Tamayo Nuñez 'Urbano', one of the survivors of Che Guevara's guerrilla in Bolivia.
